"Next up on the trade front is All Star second baseman Brian Roberts and standout starting pitcher Erik Bedard. The Cubs are hot to trot for Roberts who would fit perfectly at the top of their order but contrary to what is being reported in Baltimore, the price is very high. Several sources have reported that O's President Andy MacPhail is looking for pitchers Sean Marshall and Sean Gallagher plus minor league shortstop Ronny Cedeno. Great sources have told me that the price for Roberts is much higher than that. Names that the Orioles are reportedly asking for include Rich Hill and several much more highly regarded players that could include Felix Pie, minor league standout outfielder Tyler Colvin, and others. Sources also tell me that GM Jim Hendry will not part with Hill in any deal and while he is willing to pay a high price, he is not willing to bankrupt his system of elite prospects."

If this is true, then that's an absolute joke and I hope Hendry tells MacPhail goodbye.

Hill is certainly a pipedream. Pie for Roberts straight up is fair, or maybe even with Patterson, but adding Gallagher in is probably asking for too much. And it still doesn't look like the Cubs can afford to deal Pie unless they want Soriano or Fukudome in RF. I have almost no interest in Colvin.

Pie and/or Hill? Isn't this where we were 2 months ago? This report has got to be innacurate.

Misinformation to keep it looking like the deal isn't done...

Perhaps MacPhail looks at it like this :

Pie > Jones

Morrow > Gallagher

He'd better not think Pie is better than Jones.

I certainly hope not.

He might. I mean, Pie is his boy and all...

[Hank Scorpio]

I certainly hope not.

Ock just saying..

Of those 3 the only one i see Hendry giving up is Colvin. No chance he gives up Hill or Pie. I don't buy this one bit. If AM had been asking for those guys these talks will have ended a long time ago. I am really surprised that Kaplan has reported this. This is just crazy.

Point being he could replace Jones with Morrow in the Bedard to Seattle deal if he gets Pie back for Roberts...

I think the fanbase would riot if he did that. I sure would be pissed. I don't want Morrow and I certainly don't want him over Jones.

It's like passing over a future Torii Hunter for Bobby Witt and Corey Patterson.

Or information explaining why the deal isn't done. We just don't know yet, do we? (Except for you, I mean...)

Sorry should have put IMO after that post...

People can believe what they want to believe, but if you don't think the deal is done then you think Peace, Joey and Tony all have bogus sources...
